Overview: A 60,000sqft, seven storey building with double basement on the artery route between Kings Cross and Camden provides a state-of-the-art community healthcare facility. The site repairs the frontage along Royal College Street linking to the 265,000 sqft mixed use St Pancras Campus by Curson St John for W.RE. Community Impact & Value: The bespoke building offers intermediate care (intensive support for patients recovering from hospital treatment, readying them for a return home and independent living). Ian Chalk Architects have designed the building to reflect the origins of early NHS architectural expression. The step-down facility fit-out brief has been formed by BDP and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), ahead of our current detailed design and delivery of the shell and core with CField Construction. Technical Insights & Challenges: The building occupies the full site. Following ordnance identification, our approach to a design led delivery of the A1 fire rated façade and frame had to be innovative. Critical architectural detail was developed in parallel to a top-down approach of ground level slab install, and consecutive basement excavation and upper-level frame delivery. Central circulation leads to flanking wards and medical laboratories with triple height voids. Careful consideration for working and care environments with high levels of natural daylight and fresh air has developed a high performing envelop, working with façade specialists. Decorative screening also provides technical resolution for roof level planted terraces for both patient and staff benefit. Key Achievements: Through the detailed design and construction phases, the fit-out for Healthcare enables a collaborative and engaging process with the Trust and the retained high-quality designers.

Overview: A former children’s hospital sat on the 0.33HA central Swanley site in Kent prior to the Client’s 1970’s sheltered housing provision. Having reached the end of its life, wholesale fit for purpose new social housing outweighed refurbishment of the shared HMOs to provide a truly sustainable provision of 22 new much needed 3 bedroom, six person houses. Community Impact & Value: The 11 socially rented and 11 shared ownership properties make the most of natural daylight through orientation and comprehension of the original, well-considered hospital footprints. Swanley’s rich Victorian history as a thriving horticultural and healing environment served the sick of London for generations. This ideal of social prescription saw wellbeing thrive. It seems only right that our project respects this and provides high quality social housing in this mature verdant setting. We have retained all 25 mature trees, including 12 oaks, 3 large horse chestnuts and several beautiful signature cherry and maples, with approximately 1500sqm of new and enhanced existing green habitat. Densification of the site was possible due to the innovative housing typologies set around a central courtyard, landscaped to provide functional car parking and useable community amenity. Technical Insights & Challenges: Our approach of contextual and environmental conditions builds on West Kent Housing Association’s aspirations for best in class. With 100% A-rated SAP (2023) certification, this fabric first approach sees sustainable principles supported with PV arrays and locally sourced material selection. The palette of natural tones ensures the contemporary robust brickwork designs bed the highly energy efficient housing typologies into the existing varied local vernacular. Key Achievements: The delivery stages will be supported through the appointment of local trades and contractors to ensure locally needed housing also supports local jobs and training.

Overview: Addresses the pressing national need for housing, five intricate pavilions are harmoniously integrated within this verdant new parkland context. Ranging across 5-7 storeys, the scheme comprises market and social rented accommodation for Croydon Council. Community Impact & Value: We worked with the developer Brick by Brick, to deliver an ambitious 9,550 sqm with the original concept designs by Mary Duggan Architects. Notably, this development stands as one of BBB's most substantial ventures. The 157 new dwellings are a testament to our practice’s aspiration to provide considered, quality design regardless of typology or tenure. Technical Insights & Challenges: The immediate context has remarkable characteristics, including it’s proximity to the Surrey Iron Railway Scheduled Monument. This 6,000 sqm setting with an 8m level change served as inspiration for delivery of the fully accessible landscape, including a children’s play areas, sensory trail and residents’ allotments. To develop the meticulous technical designs we embarked on reflection refining and enhancing the original concept. Undertaking subcontractor engagement duties allowed us to rapidly respond to significant changes to fire regulations occurring after the initial concept was completed. The project was at the forefront of responses to new Building Regulations, creating an example of best practice for buildings over 18m through careful material specification. A delicate projecting brick detail softens the overarching materiality, with three complementary brick colours used to provide differentiation between overlapping façades. Key Achievements: Completed in 2023, each block rotation carefully managed proximity and views, with its pavilion typology achieving more homes than originally envisaged possible. This unique plan arrangement generates efficient and spatially rich layouts with generous corner loggia set among the surrounding trees. This experience of continually re-engaging with the landscape from the interior spaces was key to the design.

Overview: RUFFARCHITECTS is working once again with Buckinghamshire New University, this time to explore the transformation of the existing Uxbridge Central Library into a new Centre of Excellence, creating a flexible educational hub within the heart of the town centre. The six-storey building, with basement and split-level floors, provides approximately 3,030 sqm of internal space organised around a central atrium that draws daylight deep into the plan. The reinforced concrete structure and open floorplates offer strong potential for spatial reconfiguration, supporting a mix of teaching environments including classrooms, immersive learning suites, and simulated nursing wards. Located prominently on the High Street near Uxbridge Underground Station, the scheme leverages the building’s visibility and connectivity to establish a contemporary academic presence embedded within the urban fabric. Community Impact & Value: Positioned within a busy commercial high street environment, the redevelopment presents an opportunity to strengthen the university’s presence in Uxbridge while contributing positively to the surrounding town centre. Active frontage and enhanced entrance visibility support greater engagement between students, staff, and the local community, reinforcing the building as a civic and educational landmark. The proposed programme incorporates both academic and student-support facilities, including communal learning spaces, student services, and social areas that foster collaboration and wellbeing. By introducing a modern higher-education facility within an existing civic building, the project supports local economic activity, encourages student integration with the town centre, and contributes to the long-term educational infrastructure of the area. Technical Insights & Challenges: The building appraisal identified a structurally sound reinforced concrete frame with waffle slab floors, providing a robust foundation for adaptive reuse, though substantial upgrades are required to meet modern building and educational standards. Key interventions include full roof replacement, refurbishment of the atrium glazing, and comprehensive internal refurbishment to address ageing finishes and outdated services. Fire safety compliance represents a critical design consideration, with a new fire strategy required to accommodate the change of use and to address issues such as escape route coordination around the central atrium. Accessibility improvements, lift upgrades, and revised sanitary provision will also be necessary to support increased occupancy and inclusive design standards. Key Achievements: The design appraisal to date demonstrates the strong potential of the existing library building to accommodate a contemporary higher-education facility through strategic refurbishment and spatial reconfiguration. The central atrium and structural grid provide a flexible framework for adaptable teaching environments, enabling the integration of classrooms, seminar spaces, immersive learning environments, and clinical training wards. By retaining the existing structure while introducing modern services and learning spaces, the project presents a sustainable adaptive-reuse strategy that maximises the value of the existing asset while delivering a future-focused educational environment aligned with BNU’s academic aspirations and the evolving demands of the digital age of learning.

Overview: The full 24,000 sqft gallery refurbishment and system upgrade saw the 8-week ‘dark period’ between scheduled shows fully utilised. Our directly appointed multi-disciplinary team delivered within this Grade II listed building, ahead of the widely acclaimed David Chipperfield’s Lee Krasner retrospective opening. Community Impact & Value: The project holistically reviewed the original gallery fabric and mechanical services. Innovatively reviving key design aspects created within the retained shell. A 21st century world leading gallery space formed, now able to host acclaimed international exhibitions, showing the world’s highest value and valued artworks. Technical Insights & Challenges: Addressing accessibility was critical. Newly located, increased lift capacity and navigation routes that align with the main staircase distribution to the upper Level 4 gallery ensure additional mobility and visibility requirements are inclusive. Display walls, lighting and flooring were also creatively adjusted throughout the space, enhancing the visual experience and wayfinding for all. Centrally located in the wider listed arts centre and residential Barbican Estate, a sensitive approach to both re-use and enhancement of the existing fabric was proposed to City of London Planners and Conservation Officers. As conservation architects, previously delivering the new Beech Street Cinemas at Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, we understood the key critical approach needed to work within the statutory approval processes. Intentional use was made of existing fabric for a full system upgrade from pneumatic controls to an energy efficient electrical control system along with full AHU equipment. Key Achievements: Due to the uniquely challenging development window, we provided an extremely agile and flexible service. Clear identification of tasks and outputs generated key principles and marker stage commissioning, compressing 3 months of critical work into the short programme.

Overview: This 301-unit co-living scheme provides a high-quality housing solution for young professionals, serving local demand and the wider London commuter belt. The 15,900sqm project forms a collection of four buildings on the 0.37 HA site, responding to individual characteristics of surrounding listed buildings and the wider conservation area. Community Impact & Value: Addressing a 6.5m sloping site along Portsmouth Road, the Victoria Hall buildings are linked around a central courtyard. Active street level frontages enhance semi-private and public pedestrian connectivity across the site, with rental co-working and event space to BREEAM Excellent standards. Technical Insights & Challenges: The constrained city block was designed at planning by Coffey Architects. Previously located on site, former Castle and Cannon Breweries and the Guildford Glass Factory, shaped the emerging scheme. Our detailed design respects early-stage strategy and architectural decisions, these unpin the authenticity of the final building and the quality that can be delivered. Our design led approach, on full stage delivery or detailed design for well-crafted schemes, is a great opportunity to continue our successful construction focus. With similarities to the relationship formed with Mary Duggan for Lion Green Road, collaboration provides the best result for all involved. We look at the design essence and ensure this is safeguarded and recognised throughout delivery. Key Achievements: Working to significant constraints imposed following the previous contractor’s insolvency, the fast-paced programme has driven further innovative solutions, utilising our knowledge of procurement and long lead coordination items to fulfil the client’s timeframe for delivery. Tiger Developments have delivered over 10,000 rented homes in the Co-Living sector, addressing wider demand recognised by government through the London Plan ten year targets.

Overview: This prominent 11 storey former office block on the High Road, is remodelled and extended to prove 260 new residential apartments with four new 5 storey buildings to the west, on the previous carparking. The 235,269 sqm / 2,532,415 sqft mixed use development reactivates this brownfield site. The scheme is served by a significant new basement and 660 sqm of podium landscape, providing a central courtyard. The new ground floor commercial space in Barnet House provides activation and a tranquil space is formed that new residents enjoy. The landscape also traverses the 4.5m level change across the site to the adjacent Baxendale Gardens and the surrounding streets. Community Impact & Value: Ever Ready House, designed in 1966 by Richard Seifert was re-named Barnet House in 1986. It has sat empty since the most recent tenant and local employer, London Brough of Barnet, relocated in 2021. Whilst this residential focus refurbishment provides new local homes and commercial employment, it also ensures this significant scale local landmark is enhanced to provide a high-quality new investment to the Whetstone town centre, driving wider economic investment. Technical Insights & Challenges: Refurbishment rather than demolition provides a significant embodied carbon saving for the scheme, whilst also a challenging conversion to new residential best practice provisions. Innovative slab extension, increase the original building floorplates from 723sqm to 1190sqm, as well as in height, enlarging the building to 13 storeys. This enables additional staircases and triple aspect units to be formed benefiting from far reaching views over London. Taken through planning by Tate Hindle, we are undertaking detail design and delivery with CField Construction and the Client, Meadow. Key Achievements: Reuse and adaptation are embedded in sound sustainable strategies addressing decarbonisation aligning with our Studio values of retrofit and fabric first approaches.

Overview: This station marker building provides a mix of single and duplex residential accommodation over a newly proposed childcare facility at the entrance of a key London Overground Station. Community Impact & Value: Within a conservation area and adjacent to the Grade II former station building, this rare opportunity looks to provide 24 new high-quality homes. The enhancements to the public square and termination of the station approach will underpin the vibrant retail parade that occupies the railway arches. With the Overground orbital extension in December 2012, this sustainable form of transport in the PTAL 6a rated area provides clear wayfinding to the town centre station and a much-needed community and social purpose in the form of an early years nursery. Other adjacent marker buildings help orientation, including a Library and Leisure Centre, on the adjacent High Street. Technical Insights & Challenges: Sitting neighbouring the railway provides design and construction constraints, from noise for new residents and piling strategies, to ensuring continuity of the passing train services. The significance of the building as a marker within the conservation area also drives the high quality design. The high risk building (HRB) under the Building Safety Act also requires an innovative unit mix to best address housing numbers within the slender floorplate. With the main building elevation orientated south, the triple aspect units are designed to maximise natural light while using the chamfered balcony design to provide solar shading, reducing potential summertime overheating. Key Achievements: The experience developer at this early stage of the project , provides an outstanding design led approach to tight urban site regeneration, whilst respecting the historic value of the area.
